## Description
Get ready for a mind-bending adventure! Unlock! The Island of Doctor Goorse plunges you onto a mysterious island after a shipwreck. The twist? You and your team get separated right away and must escape from two different starting points. This is a cooperative game inspired by escape rooms, where time is ticking against you! Using only a deck of cards and a companion app for hints, codes, and timekeeping, you'll need to search scenes, combine items, and solve riddles to get out of this jam. Communication is cut off, so teamwork is crucial to survive and escape the island of the eccentric Doctor Goorse, an antique collector whose island serves as his playground. Brace yourselves for twists and turns that will challenge even the most seasoned escape artists. The good news is there's a quick, 10-card tutorial to get you started without a lengthy rulebook. So, gather your crew, download the free app (no internet needed after setup!), and let the adventure begin!
